Library To host Artist Jane Hartfield

The Fort Smith Public Library will host Meet the Artist: Jane Hartfield from 4-6 p.m. Thursday at the Fort Smith Public Library, 3201 Rogers Ave.

Hartfield, a fiber artist, will answer questions about fiber art, creativity and her artwork in general at this open-house celebration. The artist’s original works are on display in the community room at the library through April.

Hartfield uses a variety of fibers — fabric, yarn, paper, metal mesh and thread — and color to create what she terms “Layers of Joy.” Her artwork is part of the Women to Watch 2013 exhibition, which is touring the state as a project of the Arkansas State Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts and will be on display at the Fort Smith Regional Art Museum May 2 through July 7.
